Our Stand on the Issues

The National Bobwhite Conservation Initiative is an effort "by the states for the states" to help recover populations of wild quail. Consequently, the NBCI works primarily on a range-wide level and a policy level, often taking and promoting positions requiring change in order to benefit wild bobwhites. NBCI's stands on policies can be found here.

The National Bobwhite Technical Committee formally requested this week that the USDA Farm Service Agency amend its CP33 policy to allow center pivot ‘corners’ to be eligible for enrollment on their own merits (i.e., without a connecting perimeter buffer) in the CP33 Habitat Buffers for Upland Birds practice.
